Dirty Little Secrets..!! (Part 1)

I am a Software Engineer for now... and if you ask why?? Let me tell you why..
When I was kid I had so many dreams...no no correction I still have lots of dreams..:)
So when I was in high school..
I want to see DNA,micro organisms and learn about cloning.. So i studied Biotechnology
Then I when I was studying biotechnology I watched Die hard 4..The one with the Hacking.. SO i thought I want to do that.. So SOftware Engineer..!!
And Now when I am a software engineer I want to do Brand Mangement so I am studying for that..

Please don't judge me for figuring out anything yet..:P

So it may sound strange but God do listen to your dreams..!!

Anyways coming to point...

SO now that I am software engineer I have developed a peculiar quality of my profession... i.e how to find the LEAST EFFORT TAKING PATH (LETP)..??
Its not like we love to do so but because of constraints like time or sleep I do so.. (Wink wink)

SO here my favorites LETP..(see I didn't even have patience to write the whole thing..!!

No.1
BEST MAKEUP REMOVER----- VASELINE. Trust me its the best.. I use it everyday. It doesn't make your eyes dry or hurt when you remove and moreover it is so cheap..

No.2
BEST CURLING IRON---- YOUR SCRUNCHY/RUBBER BAND. This is what I do... when I am running late and I don't have time to blow dry or style my hair and my cab driver is honking horns and that happens everyday..(hmmm maybe I should wake up early...naaahhhaa...or maybe I should broke Cab driver's watch or horn..:P :) (devil in my head is singing.. )) No No my point..Is when your hair is damp then make a bun or two or three depending on your hair density and rub the serum over the bun..and do all the other makeup or eat something.. and travel like this.. SO by the time you will get ready and when you remove your rubber band you will find yourself with the curls or waves depending on the buns you have made.. I do this all the time.. :) and it saves time and energy too.

No.3
BEST SMOKEY EYES--- GET A KOHL THAT SMUDGES AND Q-TIPS. Need I say more..

No.4
BEST MOISTURIZER-- BABY LOTION. makes your skin so soft and smells nice.

No.5
BEST WAY TO DO DRY SHAMPOO--- IS TO DO IT IN NIGHT and after that tie your hair.. In morning you will get up with oil free hair.

No.6
BEST WAY TO SLEEP--- WASH YOUR FEET WITH WARM WATER BEFORE GETTING IN BED .It has 2 benefits ... your feet remains soft and you sleep well.


I have some more LEAST EFFORT TAKING PATHS...That I will share soon...!!
Till then tell me what do you think about these..!!
Please let me know what do you think about the post..!!

And the Answer is..!!

The Number is 35..!!
Don't be shocked... with 35 pieces I can make outfits that one can wear for 4 to 5 months without repeating any outfit..
Do you want to know the secret???

They say "Necessity is the mother of Invention". I believe it and its true but I like my version of it..
i.e."Necessity is the mother of Invention of New outfits".
Well...you can't own style or create your own with a closet full of clothes and with all the resources. Just imagine if you have privilege to shop everyday and (...let me sink into the feeling for a moment..
... almost back from my moment.... .
.........................................................now I am back.. )

So what I would do is that go to a store and shop for the outfit and trust me that ways I can never build my own style.
Its the adversity that creates "the LEGENDS"...
so with that thought I am going to answer my question. : HOW MUCH DO WE NEED??

  • JEANS :: Black,Blue,White and one colored pair.. (makes it 4)
  • TOPS/BLOUSES: 10 blouses of different colors..(7 colors of rainbow or their variations and one black,grey and white each.. )
  • T-shirts: 4 graphic shirts or 5 t-shirts..
       An average person can keep record of things for a limited period.. so even if you wear t-shirts for                                                     two consecutive weekends and next sunday you wear it in other way nobody will remember..
You doubt me..So answer me "what did you eat last to last sunday? " or what did your colleague wore on 25th of March??? 
                      I couldn't answer for sure.. so if you can't noone can..until they are John Nash.

  • Pants/Trousers: Khakhi,Black,Blue and one other color (4 in number)
  • Dresses: One LBD, one red/or smoking hot color, 1 white/pastel colored, 2 summer dress and 1 maxi dress

(Well I have only 3 and I am happy with them because I am more into jeans...)

  • Blazer: Classic Black, Tuxedo white blazer, Bright  colored blazer and printed Blazer
  • Cardigans: 2 or 3 basic colored(black/white/grey) and one fun colored.
  • Shirts: 1 white,1 black,1 navy 1 grey and 1 or 2 of your favorite color.
  • Skirt: 4(Pencil skirt, balloon skirt, maxi skirt and one of your favorite design)
  • Scarves: 4.. 1 printed, 1 plain bright colored(i ordered emerald just now. !!) 1 light colored and 1 that goes with everything.
SO by applying simple combination I can say we can have enough clothes..
35 to 40 pieces can make outfits for two months.. :) when mixed and matched properly..

Let me show it mathematically..::
1 pair of jean can be worn with 20 upper wears which includes tops,blouses,shirts minimum.
So that makes outfit for 20 days..
And those 20 outfits can be further paired with 4 Blazers, 4 cardigans and with 1 scarf atleast.
that completes 28 days... 

Now you have 4 jeans that makes 4*28=112 outfits. (thats more than 3 months) Okay lets assume 90 outfits.. keeping the fact in mind that everything doesn't go with everything..
But thats where we all make mistake..why can't we buy sensibly and why can't we make it work...!!
Similarly 1 blouse has 4 skirts + 4 jeans+4 trousers to be paired with,that means one blouse can be worn with 12 bottoms atleast.. I am not even included layering...double layering and not even bringing the dresses in the picture.. 
So 10 blouses can make 120 outfits when only worn with bottoms..no blazers..no cardigans..no scarves.. 
Same is the case with all the other garments... 
And I agree we can't make everything work but thats where innovation comes in mind..

The secret is "THINK BEFORE YOU SHOP"
I will suggest to go through whole wardrobe before going to shopping..
SO when YOU GO SHOPPING NEXT TIME DON'T BUY A PIECE FOR ONE BOTTOM OR BLOUSE...CHOOSE THE COLOR WISELY AND MAKE LOTS OF OUTFITS..

I know what I will be doing this weekend I am going to click pictures of my clothes and start making outfits. 

I hope you agree with me.

What's your NUMBER..!!


Its almost 1 in the morning..and I just came back from work..
And guess what my boss said before leaving.. "Great Job everyone.."
We all were happy to be appreciated but then (dramatic evil music) We will have to work very hard guys for next couple of weeks.. SO any plans for vacations..I was like YEAAHhh.. !! I am on leave..
He asked.."when??"
I said,"Next couple of weeks.. "
He laughed and said you always know how to light up the mood..
BUTTT...you butt head, I was not joking..!!!


Trust me I haven't chatted with anyone but my collegues this whole day.. So I need to do all the jibber jabbering..My roommate is sleeping and my bf is out with his friends..
SO i thought to talk to you guys.. :) (you guys are best.. )
First of all Thank you so very much for your ideas and wishes.. And yipppee weekend is here finally..!!

Now...Coming to the post..

"WHATS YOUR NUMBER...???"
I have a question for everyone and for me too..

"HOW MANY CLOTHES/OUTFITS DO WE NEED?" and to be honest I need an actual number..

Lets be honest we all loooooove shopping and I can shop everyday I have key to Uncle Scrooch's money Vault.. but sadly he gave me the key but to wrong vault.. (Aargg)
So the following statement is also a bitter truth..."THAT WE CAN'T BUY EVERYTHING.."... we wish but we can't... (sad music)


And I read somewhere "Clothes doesn't make you an elegant,beautiful and attractive women but it is you who do that.."
I also agree that " You buy clothes don't let them buy you." Very true.. if this was the secnario then we would sit and the showrooms and clothes would pick us up according to their choice.. (I think I have lost my mind with those lost inches of my hair..)


Anyways back to the point.. "I am going thorugh a phase where I am having a feeling that all my clothes have either faded or looks too old all in the same time. Do you have that feeling ever..??
Or AM I THE ONLY WIERDO..!!!
So I am thinking  of buying some items that can replace my existing non functional wardrobe..HENCE the question..HOW MANY OF THE CLOTHES ARE ENOUGH SO THAT EVERY MORNING I DON'T HAVE TO THINK  "ahh got nothing to wear.."
Trust me we all think about this once or twice in whole day.
In the process of transforming my wardrobe,I have some points-


  • Item should be reusable
  • It should be weather independent
  • Can be mixed with 3-4 items that I already have
  • Classic pieces
  • Fun and COlored pieces

.... I am sure I am missing some more.. (Care to help...!!!)

Hence I am asking you how many clothes are enough for us...I need a value..be it in tens or twentys or 100s.. (or infinite...)But GIVE ME YOUR NUMBER...??? so that I can give you mine.. ;)

I am sorry for making it a long post.. 
Please leave your answer in the comments...!!My number will surprise you.. trust me..
I love to read all your answers and suggestions..!!
Please suggest the pieces also..!!
Please let me know what do you think about the post..!!
